    I think it's kind of dumb that the FBI is tweeting about an album at all. Leave that type of stuff to TMZ.

    The fact that capitalism allows buffoons like him to run a company is one of the best indictments against it as a viable economic system. Idiots like this guy or Donald Trump are born on third base and think they hit a triple, and then proceed to spew their bile onto the world like a modern day Commodus.

    His parents were Albanian/Croatian immigrants who worked as janitors. That's not even first base.

    Trump though, yeah.

    Trust the free market. If the price of the drug is too high, people will simply choose to not get sick and buy big screen TVs instead.

    He could have gotten 20. And I still wouldn't have felt sorry for him.

    Btw, clicking on page 8 of this thread gave me a warning saying that spurstalk might try to scam me. I don't even see a link to spurstalk in here. Weird.

    A post by one of the users embedded a smilie image from that site, and Google apparently doesn't like them very much. I've removed it and should be good now.

    sickly looking..some kind of exciting outlaw bad boy type. famous people too. women and the type of guys they go for.. i find it curious how some good guys cant get laid and this guy has tail waiting for him when he gets out
